Can you identify what web server is running on my localhost:8000?

Question

The web server doesn't start immediately; it starts after a few minutes of a fresh log in. Resource Monitor shows that "System" is listening to port 8000.

I am using Windows 7 Professional. I had XAMMP and Aptana installed but they are removed. I do have Visual Studio 2010 installed, but have not done any web development with it.

Answer 1

netstat -ao or Sysinternals TCPView list the sockets and the process that opened them. Sysinternals ProcessExplorer shows the process and the services hosted by that process. This should help you track down which process/service is running the web server.
